The hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean, but there were some issues, like needing to wait for towels. The service started off rocky with a surprising door knock, but it improved. The location was decent, close to restaurants, but it felt a bit unsafe at times. Overall, it was reasonably priced, but a few improvements could make it a better experience.

I had a pretty rough experience at this hotel. The room was small and uncomfortable, which made our stay tiring. Plus, the service left a lot to be desired with rude staff and issues with my reservation. On the brighter side, the location was convenient, close to several places to eat. Overall, it felt like we didn't get good value for our money.

The room I stayed in was quite small and the bed felt cramped for my family. There was an unpleasant smell, and the toilet didn't flush properly, which was definitely not ideal.

My stay was quite disappointing overall. The room felt very unhygienic, with roaches and stained pillows, which made me quite uncomfortable. The service had its ups and downs, ranging from rude staff to a great experience, depending on the time. The location was convenient with good public transport accessibility, but the overall griminess of the place was off-putting. Unfortunately, I didn't notice any dining options beyond vending machines and didn't realize there was free breakfast until it was too late.

The room was very small and disgusting, with roaches everywhere and pillows that had stains on them. I asked for a non-smoking room, but it seemed like the cleanliness was a major issue.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I appreciated the convenient location near the interstate and several dining options, my experience was marred by the state of the room. The condition was quite disappointing, with stains on the pillows and even some unwelcome visitors. It's nice that they offer breakfast, but I would have preferred to skip it due to the room's cleanliness. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option, but I wouldn't recommend it unless major improvements are made.

Rooms

My stay was quite disappointing overall. The room I had was really small, and it left a lot to be desired as the toilet didn't flush and the pillows were way too thin for a comfortable sleep. I wish I had known about the free breakfast because I would've passed on it anyway after seeing the state of the room. The location had its perks being close to the interstate, but the grimy feel took away from the experience.
